Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, with 0 representing impossibility and 1 representing certainty.
The probability of a number between 0 and 1 can be calculated by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. This is known as the classical probability formula: P(A) = n(A) / n(S), where P(A) is the probability of event A, n(A) is the number of desired outcomes, and n(S) is the total number of possible outcomes.
No, the probability of a number between 0 and 1 cannot be greater than 1. This would represent a certainty of more than 100%, which is impossible. The highest probability a number can have is 1, representing a 100% chance of occurrence.
Theoretical probability is based on mathematical calculations and assumptions, while experimental probability is based on actual data and observations. Theoretical probability often represents an idealized situation, whereas experimental probability reflects real-world outcomes.
No, the probability of a number between 0 and 1 cannot be negative. This would represent a negative chance of occurrence, which is impossible. Probability can only range from 0 to 1.
